To strengthen the humanitarian response and protection for persons with disabilities during emergencies, including the provision of accessible warning systems and official information about emergency services in accessible formats;
To establish a targeted, sustainable humanitarian emergency framework to ensure the protection of the rights of persons with disabilities on an equal basis with others, and specifically in the context of the public health emergency resulting from the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic. In particular, please inform the Committee about the measures taken to provide persons with disabilities with accessible information concerning the virus’s scope and prevention of the virus; to ensure continuous access to support and mainstream community services, including in-home care and personal assistance; to provide equal access to health care, including life-saving measures; and to ensure that disability pensions and social benefits are guaranteed at all times.

DPOs Coalition Report (OHANA)
Regarding disaster management, the policies adopted are still sporadic and depend on the participation of disabled persons' organizations (DPOs). Although there is already BNPB Regulation No. 14 of 2014, as of 2019, only 2 Provinces out of 34 have formed Disability Service Units, namely Central Java and West Papua, and only 11 districts/cities out of 500 districts/cities, all of which are still in Central Java.
According to DPOs' records, the BNPB (National Disaster Management Agency) has significantly involved disability organizations in disaster management, although it needs to be increased more massively in disaster-prone areas and by considering the diversity of disabilities. In the process of revising Law No. 24 of 2007 concerning Disaster Management, DPOs have also not been involved, so the principles of disability protection in disaster situations have not been included in this Law, and there have been no revision efforts to date.
Some notes related to disasters include:
In evacuation centers (disabilities as IDPs), the needs of displaced persons with disabilities are usually not fully considered, such as the provision of special toilets, accessible and accommodating locations, and accessible information.
The State has not guaranteed an early warning system that is accessible to all types of disabilities, including data on all persons with disabilities in disaster-prone locations which would be a government priority when a disaster occurs.

Response List of Issue
Involvement of Organizations of Persons with Disabilities in Disaster Prevention and Response
In a number of regions, persons with disabilities have been involved in disaster risk reduction activities through the Regional Disaster Management Agency (BPBD). Meanwhile, involvement in the formulation and planning process is still very minimal, and it is likely that almost no region involves them fully. The same is true in the formulation and planning of Covid-19 response. As a result, not much information is easily accessible to various types of persons with disabilities regarding disasters or Covid-19.
Regarding danger signs or hazard light alarms, they are not mass-informed to deaf persons with disabilities, and the same goes for traffic/railway signs that often endanger deaf persons with disabilities.
Regarding Covid-19, not all persons with disabilities, especially children with disabilities, have received social assistance, due to an outdated data collection system. Children with disabilities who do not have a Child Identity Card (KIA) and are still in the Family Card with their parents are not included as targets for Covid assistance.
Information related to Covid is still very minimal for various types of persons with disabilities, especially visual and hearing impairments. For deafblind persons, information is very limited because it must be conveyed through tactile/hand-sign communication, while very few volunteers are willing to make hand contact. Deafblind persons feel confused by the current situation because they are not well-informed. Meanwhile, the use of masks indirectly hinders their communication in carrying out daily life, such as in markets, shops, and shopping centers.
